I wish I had been reading then. My son has been home for 20 months and just last week, I asked my doctor for antidepressants. I can&#39;t believe I waited so long, but I thought I could tough this out, and I just can&#39;t do it anymore. I appreciate your honesty!thewonderfulhappenshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06671155513531459483noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2959924903705805464.post-54314181131278616472010-12-17T20:53:58.000-05:002010-12-17T20:53:58.000-05:00Just take out your name and insert mine....you jus...Just take out your name and insert mine....you just wrote my story. Thanks for sharing. How do we encourage people to adopt and at the same time tell them the TRUTH. Now after 1 1/2 years I would not have missed this for the world. But it did not come easy. <br />JenniferJennifer Ruterhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14848258125343011559noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2959924903705805464.post-15676442185444216672010-12-15T21:31:48.169-05:002010-12-15T21:31:48.169-05:00Your honesty is so touching and so important for o...Your honesty is so touching and so important for others to hear! I felt every one of those emotions after our adoption too. The day of the adoption was so wonderful and then I woke up the next day and realized that this 4 yr old with ADHD,ODD and FAE was ours forever. She was no longer a foster child, she was OURS. It hit like a ton of bricks! Of course we loved her but it was scary! Of course, I had a headstart. I already took meds for anxiety disorder and they keep me calm!LOL! Do not let ANYONE make you feel ashamed for doing what you need to do to keep yourself and your family healthy.

Thank you for be willing to put yourself out there. We haven&#39;t adopted but I&#39;ve always felt I wanted to. Yet, the rosey pictures that are always painted seemed a bit too good to be true. Now, if we ever adopt I&#39;ll be prepared. Thank you for your courage and honesty.Monicanoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2959924903705805464.post-81677196317907623392010-12-15T18:17:26.749-05:002010-12-15T18:17:26.749-05:00I am not there (yet) but am so glad to read about ...I am not there (yet) but am so glad to read about your story.
